Inter-process communication is a technique of exchanging data between two or more processes for performing some action on that data. These processes may be present on the same computer or at remote locations.The reasons for Inter-process communication are as follows −Sharing information between processesSpeed up the computation of some processIncreasing the modularity in the applicationNow, let us learn about the type of inter-process communication implemented in the following OS.AndroidAndroid OS uses the following method for sharing data between two or more processes.BindersIt is one of the ways of passing data between processes in the android operating system. The communication between ... Read More
The user interface components of the windows operating system are explained below.The main components are GUI (Graphical user interface). It is made of four parts as follows −WindowsIconsMenusPointerThe common windows controls are as follows −MinimizingMaximizingExit tabsGUI basic components are as follows −Start menu and programming groups.Task-bar shows running programs.Desktop shows icons and shortcuts.The outlines of windows operating system are, it is developed by Microsoft Corporation, interface provides multitasking capability, provides virtual memory etc.Now let us discuss some of the components of GUI which are as follows −Pointer − A symbol that appears on the screen and that you move to ...

Components of UNIXGenerally, a computer system consists of four main components, called hardware, application programs, operating system, and users.Hardware − Physical devices are nothing but which we can touch and feel.Operating system − It allows the user to communicate with the hardware.Application − There are software programs which give some functionality to the user.User − One who gives instructions to the computer to perform an operation and accepts the result from the computer.If there is no hardware, the system does not have computing capability.If there is no operating system, the user cannot connect to the hardware parts to perform the ...

The security of our computer systems and information is at constant risk. The extensive growth of the web and increasing accessibility of tools and tricks for intruding and attacking networks have prompted intrusion detection to become an important element of network administration. An intrusion can be represented as any set of events that threaten the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of a network resource (including user accounts, file systems, system kernels, etc).Some commercial intrusion detection systems are limiting and do not support a whole solution. Such systems generally employ misuse detection approaches. Misuse detection searches for designs of program or user ... Read More
A modern computer consists of the following −One or more processorsMain memoryDisksPrintersVarious input/output devices.So, to manage all these components, we require a layer of software in the computer system, that layer we call the Operating System (OS).An Operating System is a program that acts as an intermediary or interface between a user of a computer and the computer hardware.It is the most important type of system software in computer systems. Without an operating system the user cannot run application programs on the computer system.Given below is the structure of an operating system −The operating system acts like a government in ...

Message Passing provides a mechanism to allow processes to communicate and to synchronize their actions without sharing the same address space.For example − chat programs on World Wide Web.Now let us discuss the message passing step by step.Step 1 − Message passing provides two operations which are as follows −Send messageReceive messageMessages sent by a process can be either fixed or variable size.Step 2 − For fixed size messages the system level implementation is straight forward. It makes the task of programming more difficult.Step 3 − The variable sized messages require a more system level implementation but the programming task becomes simpler.Step ... Read More
Inter process communication requires communicating to establish a shared memory region. A shared memory region is present in the address space for the process that creates the shared memory segment. And other processes are communicating using a shared memory segment that is attaching it to their address space.Operating system prevents one process from accessing another process’s memory.In shared memory two or more processes can exchange information by reading and writing data in shared memory areas. The processes are also responsible for ensuring that they are not writing to save location.Producer-consumer problemNow, let us discuss producer-consumer process problems.Step 1 − A ... Read More
Shared memory system is the fundamental model of inter process communication. In a shared memory system, in the address space region the cooperating communicate with each other by establishing the shared memory region.Shared memory concept works on fastest inter process communication.If the process wants to initiate the communication and it has some data to share, then establish the shared memory region in its address space. After that, another process wants to communicate and tries to read the shared data, and must attach itself to the initiating process’s shared address space.Let us see the working condition of the shared memory system ...

There are the following aspects of data mining for biological data analysis which are as follows −Semantic integration of heterogeneous, distributed genomic and proteomic databases − Genomic and proteomic data sets are generated at multiple labs and by various methods. They are distributed, heterogeneous, and of a wide variety. The semantic integration of such data is important to the cross-site analysis of biological records.Furthermore, it is essential to find correct linkages among research literature and their related biological entities. Such integration and linkage analysis can support the systematic and coordinated analysis of genome and biological records. This has promoted the ... Read More
When the user wants to give an instruction to the OS then it will do it through system calls. Or a user program can access the kernel which is a part of the OS through system calls.It is a programmatic way in which a computer program requests a service from the kernel of the operating system.Program executes in two modes, which are as follows −User mode − Cannot access any hardware resources, which perform only the user operations.Kernel mode − Can access hardware resources like RAM, Printer.The processor in a computer switches between the two modes depending upon what types ...
